One day, a boy had a fight with one of his classmates. He didn’t wait until school was over, and hurried home to his grandfather. He told him his story angrily. “He is really bad,” the boy said, “and I hate him.”

The grandfather said, “Let me tell you a story. When I was a boy, I, too, sometimes hated others for what they did…”

As the boy listened carefully, the grandfather went on, “There are always two tigers inside my heart. One is good and kind. He gets on well with everything around him. But the other is bad and unfriendly. Even the smallest thing will make him angry. He fights with everyone all the time, and for no reason. He can’t think carefully because he always hates others. It is difficult to live with these two tigers inside my heart. They both try to control me.”

The boy looked into his grandfather’s eyes and asked, “Which tiger always controls you, Grandfather?”

The old man said slowly and seriously, “The one that I feed. I always feed the good and kind tiger, so I never hate others and seldom get angry now.” 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on.

In fact,happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard on your lessons,your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health;when you get success, your friends will say congratulations(祝贺）to you. And when you do something good to others,you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them,you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money.It’s a feeling of your heart.

When you are poor, you can also say you are happy,because you have something else that can’t be bought with money.So you can’t always say you are poor and you have bad luck.As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door, when it closes,it also opens.

If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person. ( )6.The rich feel lonely because maybe______

I used to be an active girl. But two years ago, an English speech changed me a lot.

I stood on the stage(讲台) for the first time. I was so nervous that my brain(大脑) suddenly became empty. Not long after I began my speech, the hall turned noisy. It seemed that they were laughing at me. I knew I failed.

From then on, I became quiet and always stayed alone. I didn’t want to express my ideas in public, even in class. Every time I wanted to say something, I thought people would laugh at me. My friends couldn’t understand me, and they left me, one by one.

One day, my science teacher asked us why trees in forests were much taller than those in the wild. “Ha, what a silly question!” I thought.

“There’s not enough space in the woods for trees to expand their branches. Of course they have to grow taller than others. The trees in the wild needn’t do that since there’s enough space. ” I said in a low voice.

To my surprise, the teacher said, “Yes, you’re right. It is a competition(竞赛). ” My face turned red right now. I hadn’t spoken for a long time, especially in public.

Then the teacher explained how trees in forests had to grow taller to receive more sunlight. If not, they would die. This also happened in our society.

What’s more, the tree that doesn’t live in a crowd is just like a person who has no friends in life. I raised my head slowly and found the teacher was looking at me. His eyes were as warm as sunshine. I realized that I must stand up and face the truth.
